Valentine's Day Chocolate Truffles

Valentine's Day is less than a month away. Have you thought about your plan? Are you wondering what sweet you can get for your sweetie? Buying flowers and candy is the traditional thing, yet so cliche. Why not do something extra special like pick some flowers, even wildflowers will do. And if you're in snow country, there are still live plants out there that have flowers or pretty leaves. Next make your own chocolate confections. Here's a recipe for one decadent chocolate treat. Holds up well in the freezer, so it's perfect to make ahead.
